History

The Massacre at Kigo Yezu

The Lyucu thane Cutanrovo Aga came to Kigo Yezu searching for the young Lyucu noble Savo Ryoto (Kinri) and his secret Dara tutor, Nazu Tei. After Savo's naive intervention accidentally confirmed the forbidden relationship, Cutanrovo declared a military emergency. She brutally tortured the village elder's baby to extract a false confession about 'contraband' (a game set) and then ordered her garinafins to incinerate the entire village, massacring its inhabitants. The event was a horrifying display of Cutanrovo's fanaticism and the tragic consequences of Savo's good intentions.[TVT-23]
